The River of TiThe Museum of the World Ocean and the Primorye State Art Gallery (Vladivostok) present the works by the first Russian Far East seascape artist, captain Nikolay Stuckenberg (1880–1937). The exhibition titled Inspired by the Sea is located at the Packgaus exhibition hall and consists of 19 paintings. The exhibition is timed to the 135 th artist’s anniversary. Moreover, it is held in the year of the 50 th anniversary of the Primorye State Art Gallery to pay respect to the first Vladivostok collectors – the Brynner family whose private collection became a basis for N. Stuckenberg art display at the Primorye State Art Gallery.

The exhibition had been first presented onboard the museum icebreaker Krasin, the Branch of the Museum of the World Ocean in Saint Petersburg, before it came to Kaliningrad. Nikolay Stuckenberg was a captain of the famous icebreaker in 1934—1936. As a rule, the author did not put dates on his works, but they are supposed to be created in the Russian Far East in 1910—1930. The artist depicted not only seascapes but the rich nature of those places: woods, lagoons and flowers.

The first display of Stuckenberg art, comprising 100 pieces, was held at the International Club of Vladivostok in 1923.
